| The '''Epoloch system''' is a planetary system within the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]]. It was the location of the [[shield world]] known as [[Requiem]], the home of the [[Promethean]] [[Warrior-Servant]]s, which was the second astronomical body in the system.<ref name="DK H4TEVG">[http://www.dk.co.uk/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9781409334828,00.html '''DK Publising''' - ''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide'' '''Preview''']</ref> | |

| ==History== | | ==History== |
| At the end of the [[Requiem Campaign]] in [[2558|February 2558]], [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] leader [[Jul 'Mdama]] sent Requiem on a collision course with the star in an attempt to destroy the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and her crew. Though ''Infinity'' escaped and returned to [[Earth]], the shield world was consumed by Epoloch's immense heat and gravity. As part of Requiem's native [[Flood]] containment measure and total failure of local plasma shell containment systems,<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2994218_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2994218 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction'' (post 2994218)]</ref> Epoloch violently imploded on itself moments later in a [[supernova]]-level event.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''[[S1/Exodus|Season One - Exodus]] epilogue cutscene''</ref>
| | The system was the home of the Forerunner military forces, the [[Prometheans]], leaded by the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], for thousands of years until the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. After the war, it was not visited until [[2554]], when the [[Covenant remnant]] lead by the [[Sangheili]] [[Jul 'Mdama]], discovered the coordinates to Requiem in a planet called [[Hesduros]].<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War'''</ref> Over the next three years, the Covenant tried to enter the planet, without success. In [[2557|July 2557]], several of 'Mdama' ships identified the human vessel {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} heading to the planet. 'Mdama ordered his troops to board the ship and keep the humans away from Requiem.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/detail/halo-4-terminal-jul-mdama/0f378de5-e0e3-4f31-a1e1-2a363af4094d '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Halo 4 Terminal: Jul 'Mdama'']</ref> They were unsuccessful as the human and Covenant ships in the area were pulled into Requiem.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level ''[[Dawn (level)|Dawn]]''</ref> |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| Epoloch is shown to be blue-white in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Halo (Halo 3 level)#Epilogue|Legendary ending]] as well as in the ''Halo 4'' main menu and the campaign level ''[[Dawn]]''; however, when Requiem is plunged into the star in ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', it is depicted as being yellow. Epoloch is also yellow-orange in the [[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|first issue]] of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', in which the star is also shown as being disproportionately small.
